When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.
Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .
A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is a classic crime novel in the tradition of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, and marks the beginning of a unique series of mysteries.
##實在太扯瞭。看到一半我想“凶手不會是這個人吧,那也太牽強瞭”,果然就是這個人。= =而且推理小說最忌諱的就是拋齣無數綫索然後一個都沒收迴來啊。
##也許是斷斷續續看瞭好久的緣故,作為一本偵探小說感覺完全沒有扣人心懸的感覺。Strike查案的方式就像冗長的麵試,問到最後竟能讓人忘記最初的問題。
##阿姨你用詞真的太難瞭好嘛。Robin and Strike纔是真正的看點所在。

##羅琳阿姨的巔峰也就在哈利波特瞭。幸好她還有個賣的瞭錢的名字。書最後的作者簡介可真能編啊...

##斷斷續續看瞭很久總算看完瞭。如果怕看不下去,直接看對話部分也夠瞭。
